About Me

I hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from KU Leuven, where my research focused on molecular biology, synthetic biology, and nucleic acid technologies.

I currently work as a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven, developing molecular diagnostics and biosensor technologies for infectious diseases. My research integrates molecular biology, protein engineering, nucleic acid engineering, enzymatic assays, assay development, and microfluidic technologies.

Before moving into academic research, I worked for four years in industrial biotechnology, first in quality control and later in research and development. I specialized in the development and validation of biological indicators for sterilization monitoring under ISO and GMP standards, contributing to the creation of four FDA-approved medical products.

Thanks to this combination of industrial, doctoral, and postdoctoral experience, I can help students connect theoretical concepts with real research and biotechnology applications. I can provide support with molecular biology, biotechnology, protein and nucleic acid engineering, experimental design, scientific writing, data analysis, Python for life sciences, thesis projects, and preparation for exams or research presentations.

My lessons are adapted to each student's level and goals. I aim not only to help solve an immediate problem, but also to develop scientific reasoning, confidence, and independence.

Education

I hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from KU Leuven (Belgium), where I specialized in molecular biology, synthetic biology, nucleic acid technologies, bioinformatics, and computational biology. Prior to my PhD, I completed a predoctoral specialization in Pharmaceutical Sciences at KU Leuven with distinction. I also earned a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry and a Licenciatura (Master's equivalent) in Biotechnology from the National University of Rosario, Argentina, graduating with honors.

Experience / Qualifications

I have over 10 years of experience spanning academic research and industrial biotechnology. Before joining KU Leuven, I spent four years in the biotechnology industry, working in quality control and research & development on the design and validation of FDA-approved medical products under ISO and GMP standards.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven, where I develop molecular diagnostics and biosensor technologies for infectious diseases. My expertise includes molecular biology, protein engineering, nucleic acid technologies, biotechnology, biochemistry, PCR and qPCR, bioinformatics, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), Python programming for life sciences, experimental design, and scientific writing. I enjoy helping students understand complex concepts, solve research problems, and bridge the gap between theory and real-world applications.

By PROFESSOR & PROFESSIONAL COACH

Hello,

First and foremost, I would like to wish you a warm welcome back to school and a peaceful year ahead as you work towards your goals. I am aware that the economic situation can sometimes be challenging, which is why I offer my services to accompany your child throughout their academic journey with ease and serenity.

Throughout my career as a Graduate Teacher and Graduate Professional Coach, I have worked in various contexts. Until last year, I taught in front of whole classes as well as in private lessons. Since this year, I have been providing face-to-face private lessons at home and also via video conferencing, a mode of teaching that I have practiced with university students for the past ten years.

My teaching environment has undergone significant changes, especially with the emergence of the Covid pandemic. This shift has led our secondary school students to adapt to the new mode of learning and communication, namely video conferencing. Despite the success of this transition, it is important to acknowledge that our younger students still require attention and a psycho-emotional connection in order to develop their autonomy peacefully.

Over the past two decades, I have implemented proven methodological approaches, some of which are borrowed from theater techniques, such as the Davis method (mind mappings/colors), and my specialty, professional coaching, which aims to enhance your child's motivation. My main goal is to foster agility in your child across all subjects, not only for the present but also for their future when I will no longer be by their side.

Ultimately, my objective goes beyond simply focusing on gaining points in a subject. I firmly believe in this approach due to my experience as a Mental Coach working with young athletes between Nice and Cannes, as well as throughout Europe via video conferencing, as part of their preparation for the French Tennis Championships. It has reinforced my conviction that working on a subject should be a nurtured objective that encompasses personal growth and development.

As a Professor in General Education, specializing mainly in scientific subjects, I suggest supporting your child in gaining agility in constructing their academic path during this unique period that is filled with both opportunities and challenges.

Looking forward to meeting you soon,
Corinne.
Teacher and Professional Coach

I hold a Doctorate in Pharmacy and 2 Masters degrees from the University of Paris V René-Descartes.
Since the beginning of my higher education, and since I established myself as a freelancer after 10 years of managerial career in the pharmaceutical industry, I have been used to regularly giving private lessons to pupils and students of all levels, Primary, Secondary and Higher, supporting them until they pass their exams.
The main disciplines in which I support students are essentially scientific.
The perspectives provided are transdisciplinary.

I graduated with a perfect 45/45 in the IB Diploma and achieved 7/7 in both Biology HL and Chemistry HL. I also have over 3 years of teaching experience.
In this class, I’ll share the strategies, techniques, and exam approaches that helped me achieve those results.
This class is focused on more than simply reviewing the syllabus. We will focus on how to approach IB science questions, apply your knowledge effectively, maximize marks, and consistently perform at a 6–7 level.

What we will focus on:
- How to approach difficult IB-style questions
- Strategies for moving from a 5 to a 6 or from a 6 to a 7
- How to understand command terms and what questions are really asking
- How to structure answers to maximize marks
- Data analysis, graphs, calculations, and experimental questions
- Common mistakes that cost students marks
- Time management and exam strategy
- Challenging 6–7 level Biology HL and Chemistry HL questions

We will work through challenging IB-style Biology and Chemistry questions step by step, focusing not only on what the correct answer is, but why the markscheme awards marks for it and how to recognize similar questions in an exam.
Whether you are currently working toward a 6, trying to push from a 6 to a 7, or simply want to become significantly stronger in IB Biology HL or Chemistry HL, this class will give you a clear and practical strategy for maximizing your exam performance.

Struggling to translate basic science concepts into correct answers on high-stakes clinical vignettes? Memorizing isolated facts is rarely enough—success on the USMLE Step 1 and medical board exams requires deep mechanistic understanding, disciplined active recall, and precise pattern recognition.

What we will focus on:
>Vignette Dissection: Step-by-step breakdown of question stems, identifying key clues, distractors, and essential buzzwords.
>Core High-Yield Concepts: Comprehensive, First Aid-aligned reviews across organ systems, pathology, pharmacology, and basic sciences.
>Underlying Pathophysiology: Moving past superficial memorization to understand the "why" behind disease mechanisms and diagnostic algorithms.
>Exam Strategy & Test-Taking Skills: Eliminating common traps, timing pacing, and sharpening clinical reasoning.

Whether you are just starting your prep, struggling with specific organ blocks, or entering dedicated study and aiming to boost your question-bank scores, sessions are structured entirely around your learning pace, weak areas, and targeted score goals.
